Calling France: what to know

France answers on the country code +33, with the capital in Paris and most business concentrated around Paris, Marseille and Lyon. The working language for business is French, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 12:30, 14:00 to 18:00. Lunch breaks are inviolable; almost no one in B2B picks up between 12:30 and 14:00.

Outbound calls on StartACall need no phone number and no app. You place them from the browser, and you only add a US or Canada number when you also want to receive inbound calls.

Most mobiles in France sit on operators such as Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom. Mobile numbers start with 06 or 07; geographic numbers start with 01-05 by region. 09 prefix is VoIP/non-geographic.

France runs on UTC plus 1, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
